15 Men Describing What a Male Orgasm Really Feels Like

The male orgasm is difficult to explain, partly because your brain isn’t even functioning normally when it comes to orgasm. And trying to describe it to women, who have drastically different sex organs, feels like trying to explain a brand new color to someone. Still, these 15 men attempted to put male orgasm into words.

1.“Think back to the time when you had to pee really bad. Like, a road trip when you realized you had to go but had to wait an hour to get to the next rest stop. And you finally manage to find a bathroom. Remember that sense of relief. Now multiply that by 1,000.” —Brian, 27

3. “It’s like your penis takes over your brain for a few seconds. Like everything goes numb, except for this amazing sensation in your penis. You can’t focus or feel anything else. You might as well not even exist. You’re just this good feeling, and then it goes back to normal and you’re like, ‘dammit.'” —Shawn, 22

6. “On a physical level, it feels like your whole groin area is tensing up. It’s like getting a crampbut in a good way. Like, your dick is having a spasm, but it feels great. It’s really hard to explain.” —Tom, 24

11. “Imagine a tube of toothpaste that’s almost empty and someone rolls it up and squeezes it as hard as they can and the toothpaste shoots out everywhere. Except the toothpaste is coming out of the most sensitive part of your body and it feels awesome.” —Ryan, 25

13. “I don’t know. It sort of feels like when you get a cast off after having it on for a long time. Like, how right afterward, your arm feels really weird but really good? It’s that but, like, more intense. Like, it’s that feeling but it’s so good you can’t handle it.” —Zach, 25
